Mr. Two-Arms:
UStream not working too great here, either :(

Fri. 3/2/12 9:21pm
Matt from Springfield:
Cool, at least comments are open for this years!

Fri. 3/2/12 9:22pm

This is too cool for words.

conrad:
the ustream cuts out every 3 seconds for me

Fri. 3/2/12 9:22pm
some other guy:
damn, sure wish I could get the stream going without cutting out every 10 seconds. Guess I'll just have to listen to it like it is... radio. The sound is excellent this year.

Fri. 3/2/12 9:22pm
pseu:
so sorry folks -- i did mean to type "$100" dollars!! keep up the support for WFMU!!!xox

Fri. 3/2/12 9:23pm

YLT are the best. This is the coolest.

Fri. 3/2/12 9:23pm
Mr. Two-Arms:
Pledge Pledge Pledge! I spend more on coffee everyday, and I love WFMU WAY more than coffee!

Fri. 3/2/12 9:23pm
wrosco:
yea the sound is great. it just woulda been a treat to follow on video. these guys are the perfect band

Fri. 3/2/12 9:24pm
Matt from Springfield:
Yeah, the UStream isn't doing well this year--wasn't on at all two days ago for me, and the video keeps stalling here.

But I'm listening on the 128k, so the audio's fine. It's the philosophical question: video and audio synched but risking cutouts, or excellent audio behind the video.

Fri. 3/2/12 9:25pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
So nice to hear Pseu and Gaylord together again! And big thanks to Yo La Tengo for their generosity and talent. Love to everyone from the Green Mountain State.

Fri. 3/2/12 9:25pm
other david:
listen to the audio stream, get bits and pieces off the ustream

Fri. 3/2/12 9:32pm
Mr. Two-Arms:
I saw YLT in Pittsburgh this past fall, and the WFMU Wheel of Death landed on Dump..they played a full set of James DUMP stuff (mostly Prince covers) and it was absolutely fantastic!!

Fri. 3/2/12 9:51pm
sghm:
I split my $365 pledge between three shows including this one and my name didn't get mentioned, did my request get lost in the system or did all of it have to be pledged to just this show?

Julie:
it is nice to know that Bruce fell for the Leader of the Pack

Fri. 3/2/12 10:01pm
Matt from Springfield:
Hi Kitty! I agree, these are really on the spot, yet they manage to do very workable versions of all these songs. I catch them every year!

Fri. 3/2/12 10:02pm
Mr. Two-Arms:
@ Julie, hang in there. I thought The Flying Machine would've been an easy one for them, and they struggled with ti. I amlost feel the later, the better! Gives them a chance to get in the zone with each other.

♥
Fri. 3/2/12 10:02pm
Julie:
@SGHM if you webpledged and assigned it to this show, they will get it. I'm sure they have a large pile to read

♥
Fri. 3/2/12 10:03pm
Julie:
@Two-Arms Oh I'm not worried at all! They have a ton of stuff to go through

Fri. 3/2/12 10:03pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Julie: Wouldn't it be funny if they DID play a CTs request, and tried to improv vocals to fit it! :D

Fri. 3/2/12 10:03pm
Mr. Two-Arms:
:)

Fri. 3/2/12 10:04pm
Mr. Two-Arms:
MISFITS!

Fri. 3/2/12 10:05pm
pgw in mntclr:
kudos to the person that requested the misfits song

Fri. 3/2/12 10:18pm
Mr. Two-Arms:
Can someone request The Drifters, "Up On the Roof"? I already gave all I can, and I'd love to hear them play it.

Fri. 3/2/12 10:18pm
Matt from Springfield:
APEMAN!! :)

Fri. 3/2/12 10:19pm

apeman!

Kondo Fucks!

Ken From Hyde Park:
Ustream is working fine for me on wireless at home. It works better if you have a good wireless connection or hooked straight to an ethernet cable. If I get far away from the router, it cuts out quite a bit.

Fri. 3/2/12 10:27pm
Matt from Springfield:
Cheese And Onions!! Another Neil Innes request!! This time from The Rutles! :D

Fri. 3/2/12 10:27pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Hey! I don't mean to be a pest, but how long is the usual time between when a pledger (me) makes a request and the band plays it? I'm still waiting for mine. Has it been rejected? Thanks!

Fri. 3/2/12 10:28pm
SFrances:
Kudos to whoever requested Rutles!

Fri. 3/2/12 10:28pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Oh wait, never mind... :-)

so is the magic soap anything like bronners?

Fri. 3/2/12 10:36pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Marmalade Kitty, the mayor of Jersey City is too busy kissing the ass of the producers of "Jersey Shore" to even recognize there's a radio station in his town. Oh, and getting drunk and appearing naked on his front porch.

Nashville Noah _ COOL AS MOUNTAIN DEW

Fri. 3/2/12 10:37pm
other david:
next year, all being well, i shall request YLT to play Gigantic

Fri. 3/2/12 10:39pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
sugarwolf, indeed. BTW, I think I spotted one of the Jersey Shore trainwrecks the day before I moved. I saw some frazzled young people with clipboards and a mic on a stick and a movie camera following a hideous, orange, haggard looking young woman walking two teacup-sized dogs, with a Jersey City cop in-tow, looking less than amused. I scowled and grimaced. Haha.

Fri. 3/2/12 10:40pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Mr. Two-Arms, Jersey City *has* come a long way, but we can't say the same for Hizzoner. :-D

Fri. 3/2/12 10:42pm
Jmr3:
"wash you from my brain?" or "thought you were my freind?"

Fri. 3/2/12 10:42pm

Matt from Springfield:
Oooh! Can't think of the title offhand, but someone on FMU just played this Clean one during the Marathon! It's a good one!

Fri. 3/2/12 10:55pm
Matt from Springfield:
@MK: Interesting, whenever I listen to sports on the radio while watching TV in the US, it seems to be ahead on TV versus radio. Because of different FCC radio requirements maybe.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:08pm
Matt from Springfield:
@MK: I hope so--they always take awhile to get to mine. Right now I'm entering the angsty time when I think they won't get to mine. But, in the past at least they did my song requests each of two years.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:09pm
Matt from Springfield:
Wow, Layla!

Fri. 3/2/12 11:09pm
Dan B From Upstate:
Wow. Layla.

They'll just have to go over the time limit until ALL our requests have been met BWAAA HAA HAA!!

lucky to get out of bed!!

Fri. 3/2/12 11:17pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Wendy: There's supposed to be a "curse" of Derek & The Dominoes, since besides Eric, everyone else has had a hard life, ODed, killed themself or killed their mother. Not a happy ending.

@Julie: Oh yeah, there was the whole business about Conor...although Eric has made out a lot better than most of the Dominoes.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:21pm
someone:
nananananananana BATMAN!

Fri. 3/2/12 11:21pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Matt from Spfld: Geez, I had no idea about that "Layla" curse. Sorta makes Marty Scorcese's use of it in "Goodfellas" kinda spot-on, wouldn't you say?

Fri. 3/2/12 11:22pm
Matt from Springfield:
Pull out an industrial paper shredder, and run his guitar through it!! He's shreddin' it!

Fri. 3/2/12 11:23pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Ooh, The Soft Boys! Niiiice!

Fri. 3/2/12 11:23pm
Adam in Portland and Lynnwood:
I will never be terribly popular, and here's one reason why: I am not in the slightest bit shy about expressing that if you listen to WFMU, but do not pledge your financial support of said institution, then I resent you. All the way live! However, if, conversely, you *do* give your heart out in pledge fashion, then I love you with reckless abandon, and if ever presented with an opportunity would surely hug you. I don't care who you are, or who might not be so willing to squeeze you like they mean it. Boy would I!! 1-800-989-9368 or wfmu.org

Fri. 3/2/12 11:23pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Wendy: It was a great, soaring, dramatic cue in its own right for that film, but yeah I think the history adds that kind of element to our interpretation of the film.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:24pm
SFrances:
Sweet! The Soft Boys!

I got the flash player and itunes going for the extra beef

Fri. 3/2/12 11:24pm

Thanks, whoever requested I Wanna Destroy You! I would have requested this if I hadn't already given all my pledge money last week.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:24pm
conrad:
was this scharpling's request? he played this a couple of months ago

Fri. 3/2/12 11:27pm
Van in DC:
Who ARE these guys? They seem to have a rather large and varied repertoire. Exactly the kind of guys you would need for something like what is happening now, of course. I like them.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:32pm
Wendy del Formaggio:
Van, you are right about the cheese. I shouldn't really keep it in the fridge, but for the time being I do. And you oughta check out Yo la Tengo's albums. Immensely talented and enjoyable band.

Fri. 3/2/12 11:33pm
Adam in Portland and Lynnwod:
HA! I lived in the same Hollywood apartment building as Crispin Glover for two weeks in 1992.

Is this the "Thing with a hook" part? :)

Fri. 3/2/12 11:34pm
G:
Yes, Destroit -- but never archived. If I did dozens and dozens of covers back to back that I didn't know perfectly, I wouldn't agree to that being out there forever in public, either :-) They're game enough just to do it at all...

Do not overstep your boundaries, Pseu

Danne D:
It's generally been at this time slot for the last few years. Before that, I believe it was during Gaylord's shift a few years. Before that I believe it was the finale (before the advent of Hoof N Mouth)

Fri. 3/2/12 11:42pm
Danne D:
@Doug S I do like to think I took the last pledge ever at East Orange though as while everyone celebrated making the goal, the phone rang and I took a pledge :) Just remember Ken announcing "Upsala College is on Fire!"

@felix - You can click on the banner up at the top left. And it'll take you to the main pledge page. Other international folks on here might help you with some of the details. :)

Nashville Noah from Coffee Break FOr Heroes...:
Hey Scott, I was curious who was gonna give away the Dinosaur L box set, I worked hard on that one....and the McLuhan. Glad you dug it!

Fri. 3/2/12 11:58pm
Danne D:
Van - I think that shout out is probably better than getting your song :)

Fri. 3/2/12 11:59pm

Sorry

Fri. 3/2/12 11:59pm
Van in DC:
oh my, wow. Yep, that was me lol

Yea that Finesse was TOPS!!! I'm still honored that he came on, and honored that James McNew came on too!
Have you checked out the 1 hour version that I've been doing?

These shout-outs are fantastic! hahaha!

Matt from Springfield:
At least they mentioned me...
Big Star "Sitting at the Back of a Car" was my secondary--
my primary was The Church, but "Tally Ho!" by The Clean DID in fact satisfy me! :)

Sat. 3/3/12 12:12am

That was very, very nice. Thank you WFMU, Yo La Tengo, and everyone involved from all ends.

I guess the 2 lines of Mott I got will have to do ... reminder to self - request a cover BEFORE the show next year! Thanks Yo La, Pseu and Gaylord! Another stellar set and ridiculous closing medley!
